知識 社會的 觀点에서 再照明한 프레더릭 테일러의 生涯와 思想

Frederick Taylor : life and management philosophy : from the knowledge society perspective

Frederick W. Taylor was the founder of Scientific Management. But he was not only blamed by employers and craft unions in life, but also criticized by Human Relationists, Regulation Theory, and Reengineering School after death, because of misunderstanding about the nature and intentions of Scientific Management. Scientific Management was inevitably known as alienation and mechanization of human beings, and deprivation of labor. The real intention of Scientitic Management was to give decent money to workers and make them first class men through enhancing the labor productivity and to lower the burden of labor cost for employers in result. The new meaning of Scientific Management in the knowledge society is to increase knowledge(or knowledge worker’s) productivity through appling the knowledge to another knowledges to create new knowledge. To do so, we have to use work study and time study methods done in industrial society by Scientific Management School.
